What is the future of AI? Parts of this post on Artificial Intelligence were written by a revolutionary bot called ChatGPT. AI already predicts the weather.  What about using Artificial Intelligence to predict other types of events or using AI to forecast how people will behave? Infosys has invested hugely in predictive analytics using AI, for example in the oil and gas sector.  Engineers planted around 30 sensors on several oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, and connected their data outputs to AI.  The AI sensors were recording things like temperature, air pressure, low frequency vibrations, high pitched sounds and so on, and matching the data to other events such as mechanical breakdowns.  After a few weeks, the team had an alert from the Artificial Intelligence system, warning that there was going to be a problem soon on one of the rigs, which was not taken very seriously because the AI system had only just been set up.  A few days later there was a major incident, and the engineers realised that AI discovered how to prevent disasters.  But how?  AI had detected unusual and obscure data patterns beyond any human understanding.

The same has happened with doctors reading X rays of bones or 3D scans of the human brain.  An AI diagnostic system was fed with tens of thousands of images, matched with diagnosis made at the time by experts.  AI was also fed older images of the same person.  So for example, a brain tumour may have been obvious in the later images but invisible to the human eye in earlier ones.  And as a result, in many hospitals around the world, AI is now detecting cancers far earlier than any human being can manage. Indeed, AI is better at image analysis than the human beings that trained AI.  Not just for medical images, but any images:  AI face recognition, AI recognition of people by the way they walk, and so on...

Future of Aviation: Carbon Zero Planes. New fuels such as hydrogen, smaller short distance battery powered vertical take-off vehicles. Why Sustainable Aviation Fuel is not the answer to global warming. 100s of innovations such as AI will impact aviation

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future Travel Keynote Speaker:Auto, Rail, Aviation

The future of innovation in aviation will be dominated by three words: EMOTION, SPEED and SCALE. EMOTION: travel has always been driven by emotion, by the deeply rooted human desire to explore, experience, engage. 85% of humanity lives in emerging markets and most have yet to experience their first flight. SPEED: I am not referring here to supersonic air travel or space travel – both of which will continue to be exotic and unusual for the next 20-30 years. Just look instead at the speed of recovery of airline ticket sales the moment that COVID restrictions relaxed, as I predicted. And this speed is of course driven by emotion.

We will also see massive acceleration in speed of innovation across aviation in the race towards carbon zero. SCALE: the investment required to deliver a new world-class passenger aircraft is so vast that only 2-3 companies have the ability to do so. The same applies to massive infrastructure that will soon be needed to carry the world’s aviation fleet towards alternative fuels. Most board debates about the future of aviation are not about what is going to happen but are about timing...

Why MOST CEO SPEECHES don't create passion or purpose - just create Quiet Quitters. 270,000 views of this PURPOSE speech which no AI can deliver. For typical company in an industry often criticised. Reverse Great Resignation! Leadership Keynote Speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Leadership, Strategy, Business Ethics - Keynotes

I have listened to a huge number of CEO speeches over the years to their global teams at major events, and there is often a problem.

The same for Finance Directors. I was once about to start a leadership programme at one of the world's best known Business Schools and the session immediately before me, to introduce the week, was led by the Finance Director.  Just before he entered the room, we had 40 highly energised, highly motivated people, bursting with energy, ideas, initiative and passion.  

As that Finance Director began to speak, the energy drained right out of the room. Within a couple of minutes he had lost the audience, many of whom were doing things like emails, WhatsApping friends or researching their next holiday online.  It was awful and embarrassing.... 

So here's another approach in the video above. It's an unscripted 3 minute piece I did without any rehearsals, quite spontaneously, in the middle of a one hour keynote to 4,500 people on how to create highly engaging corporate events. Just to make a point. Tailored for an imaginary global Insurance company - that industry is often attacked in the media by customers for being slow in paying their claims, and fast in making profits.

As one of the world's leading Futurists, I have worked with many of the world's largest insurance companies, companies like Aviva, Prudential, Munich Re and Swiss Re, advising them on a wide variety of global trends, giving keynotes on the future of Life Insurance and many other related issues at their most important global events.

Key issues include these: How will the Life Insurance market change across the world? What is the future of Life Insurance agents, with rapid grow in mobile applications and instant automated underwriting driven by AI / Artificial Intelligence?  How can we improve the application process? How can we expand rapidly in new regions? What about future changes in life expectancy?  

One thing is certain:

Life Insurance will see huge growth globally over the next three decades for a number of reasons....

Queen Elizabeth II: the power of example over a lifetime. Lessons for all great leaders. Why her impact on our future world will be so long lasting. Example is the only form of leadership that endures, because it is based on integrity and authenticity

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Government, Politics, Democracy, War - Future

The impact of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, and of her leadership example, will be very long lasting, because she became one of the most trusted and respected figureheads on the world stage, as well as in her own nation. Her life was rooted in a deep sense of public duty, and a commitment to a life of public service, which was forced upon her by circumstance.

Hundreds of millions of words have already been written about her life, but the most powerful perhaps were spoken....

Future HR trends, workplace, rapid reversal of % time working from home, office occupancy, motivation, recruitment and leadership in an AI world.How to form most effective teams and why most change management strategies fail. HR keynote speaker interview

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Work, Workplace, HR, WFH - Keynotes

What major HR trends do you see at the moment? This is a very confusing time for business leaders and HR directors, with chaos in energy markets related to Russia, disruptions in supply chains, huge inflation, ongoing impact of COVID, impact of AI / Artificial Intelligence on jobs and many other factors. What will all this mean for the future of people management, talent acquisition, leadership development, workplace motivation, home working, virtual teams and career development? In my book The Future of Almost Everything, I warned in 2019 about a possible new viral pandemic, about the risk of Russia taking military action in response to fears of NATO expansion, and wrote that oil prices could reach $145. I always say that the world can change faster than you can hold a board meeting, so HR leaders need more than one strategy.  We need to have backup plans for all important things in the business. This is fundamental to risk management and agility, especially in Human Resource Management....

Energy as a national security strategy. Added incentives to go green. Futurist view of Future of the energy industry, oil, gas, coal, solar and wind in a post-COVID world impacted by regional conflict

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Future of Energy, Oil and Gas - Keynote Speaker

What is the outlook for the energy industry for the next decade?  I have advised many of the largest green energy companies and traditional energy companies on the future. 

In “The Future of Almost Everything” published in 2019, I warned that unstable prices would create a lot of chaos in future for energy companies, and I was right.  Energy forecasts always have to be seen in the context of the global economy, geopolitics, technology, innovation, urbanisation, migration and social transformation.  I wrote in 2019 that we would be likely to see unstable oil prices with all kinds of supply and demand shocks, and prices ranging from above $180 to below $40. Just so. 

And I also wrote that these price convulsions would drive many green energy companies out of business, which is what is already happening...
